Laʻu Lupe ʻUa Lele(Traditional) | |

Laʻu lupe ʻua lele Lele i le vao māoa Tālofa laʻu pele ʻO laʻu pele ʻua lēiloa
|
My dove has flown Flown into the lush forest My poor beloved My beloved has been lost |
|
Taʻaga e o teine ʻOloʻo gāsolo mai Oʻu mata e tilotilo ʻAe ʻe te lēʻo sau ai
|
A gathering of young ladies Happily passes by My eyes glance over But you are nowhere to be found |
|
Oi oi oi e I lēnei mālaia Le oti faʻafuaseʻi I le lalolagi e
|
Oh oh oh What a tragedy The sudden passing away From this world |
|
Laʻu fuārosa e Laʻu fua veloveta e Laʻu fua ʻua uimoto ʻAe leʻi matala e |
My rose My velvet flower My flower bud has been plucked Before it could blossom |
